If you're using Set Device To Printer you can do
@0,0 say ""
and that would advance the paper and zero both these functions. But these two functions work with manually coded reports, so their use may be somewhat limited - I'm not even sure they return any meaningful values when called from a .frx report.

If you meant to print the same thing twice over the same row, or to do some of those old-time dot matrix tricks, you can do it by doing
? [any content here] at n
where n would be the column. Beware that with both ? and @ printing, the paper is measured in the current font of the printer (as in Set Printer Font ...) regardless of any Font options you may use with it. The unit of measure remains one standard character box for the font set. This is tricky in general and you may waste a lot of time trying to do something... which in the end may work on one type of printer only.
